GLOSSARY97 Preface The Tamil alphabets are being taught using the rhyme of the wise old woman (WOW). Thus this work retains the original structure of these morale works. The modern father of lateral thinking is Edward De Bono. It is believed that there were several Auvaiyar(s) known among works in Tamil. You may wonder how one of the Auvaiyar who used the lateral thinking to bless the king to “fortify the embankment”.

    Tamils believe that the God Murugan used lateral thinking to fun with one of the Auvaiyar. All Auvaiyar(s) are not only wise ladies but also had sharp minds. The subject rhymes are not only simple but also reminder the fundamental concept for a peaceful life. Four of Auvaiyar’s works – Arthi Chudhi, Konrai Venthan, Muthurai and Nalvazhi are depicted here in English. As her works are in the verses form, even explanations in Tamil differ among various publications. Many Tamil words do not have a meaningful word in English language. For example, the Tamil word “aram” which has no exact meaning in English.

    We can find many words with closer meaning. Thus it is not possible to provide “the” translation for her works. This work will be called as an interpretation (Chapter 5) and a translation depicted in words (Chapter 6). It is my opinion that there is no translation can capture the magnificent principles behind her works. Only way is to read the original verses in Tamil (not even the description in Tamil). This is an indirect encouragement for the Tamil speaking community not to miss the opportunity to learn Tamil language while young.

    The verses were originally written in the ancient feudal society where primary production (agriculture) was considered as the noble tasks. Today the world went through industrial transformation, economical reformation and electronic revolution. In the feudal society men earned wealth but today some women’s earning capacity is much more than their husband’s earning. Thus certain moderation of the novel verses is required to reflect the current life style. The main part of the book is Chapter 5 which is “Moral Manners. ” It contains the interpretation of Auvaiyar’s four works.

    Modern thinking is employed to reflect the current life style of the people and to make them secular with no specific references to any culture. The purpose of the book is to provide the opportunities for young children to learn and elders to refresh whenever they needed. It is neither an invention nor a discovery but simply innovative ideas are employed to provide the existing information in Tamil. The Chapter 6 of this book is not a literal translation of exiting works but a translation based on the Auvaiyar’s concepts to provide a smooth flow for reading. Thus it is provided under the title of “Ethical Etiquette. Here not only references to Indian culture and Hindu religion are retained but also the original Tamil verses can be located. A culture is a wealth of the community. The community applied it every day to advance their quality of life. This book is not saying which culture is the best or superior. This book is merely based on a culture where the Interpreter was brought up and set up his mind. It is always good to know more about other cultures and their wealth of their works. This book is developed with providing assistance to overseas Tamil children whose first language in school is no more Tamil.

    Some of them learn Tamil at home or from community. But there are many overseas Tamil students missed learning Tamil language. This book is equally suitable for Tamils who learn Tamil as first language or as second language. This book is also developed to be used by any other Indian Children whose mother tongue is not Tamil and all other children from English speaking world. The original Tamil verses are included for those who are competent in both languages. Others can ignore the sand-witched Tamil verses. PUBLISHERS VIEW READERS’ REVIEW Introduction Every child born in this world is innocent.

    That is the reason, every body likes the children. Indians love children as gods like Kannan, Murugan and Iyyeppan where they appear as young children. Every child is not grown up as innocent adult. What are the changes being made while they are growing? The answer could be environment and circumstances. When the difficult situations arise, it disturbs the direction of thinking. Previous experiences on similar incidences affect the views which lead to frustration and revenge. Egoism makes greedy. In the end, majority of the crowd got distress with many other forms of extremisms including fanatics.

    What is needed for life is a peaceful and blissful survival. When people realize about themselves, they achieve the peacefulness. I used to read Auvaiyar’s works to build my mental strength which gave me the blissfulness needed to me. Now I am providing those in both English and Tamil for others benefits who ever want to read them in either of the language. No child in Tamil speaking home in anywhere in this world forgets Auvaiyar. Two of her works (first two listed below) are being used to learn Tamil Alphabet as poem in very early stage of learning.

    The other two (last two listed below) are being applied to understand the unexpected outcome of our actions. She has many other works too. All the four works were based on very fundamental moral principles which are interpreted in this book as follows: • Blameless Behaviour or Righteous Restraint (Arthi Chudhi) • Virtuous Vision or Complacent Conduct (Konrai Venthan) • Wholesome Wisdom or Mature Messages (Muthurai) • Peaceful Path or Commendable Course (Nalvazhi) 2. Wise Old Woman 2. 1 General The wise old woman (WOW) is Auvaiyar. Her verses are not only beautiful and rhymed but also have several deep moral values and spiritual meanings.

    Among the many Tamil poets and poetesses Auvaiyar stands pre-eminent. Auvai is another form of addressing mother in Tamil and Telengu. Later Auvai evolved into a courteous form of addressing an old lady with the addition of “ar” to make it more polite in Tamil. In all pictures Auvaiyar is depicted as a white – clad old lady with a staff in hand. Other than the four moral verses named in Chapter 1, several other works of her are published in Tamil languages. Scholars seem to agree that all the above four “Auvaiyar” poems are by a single woman and this is the general believing among the Tamil people.

    The works under the Auvaiyar’s name are wisdom to widen the daily life. There is no other work surpassed her contributions for brevity and principles. There are numerous translations of Auvaiyar’s works into other languages. But no translation can capture the magnificence of the original Tamil. There is no authentic biography exists about her. What little is known of her has been gathered from oral tradition and from occasional references in the writings of contemporary poets. It is not possible to get the history correctly. However, Auvaiyar was born and bred in Tamil Nadhu in South India.

    It is possible to note that at least three Auvaiyar’s can be spotted in Tamil literature because they belong to three different periods. It appears that all the three Auvaiyars were great devotees of Ganapathy the elephant faced God who is the remover of obstacles. Most of Auvaiyars’ work begins with an invocation to him. 2. 2 First Auvaiyar This Auvaiyar was the daughter of Athi (Mother) and Bhagawan (father). She was found abandoned as an infant in a traveler’s hut and adopted by foster parents. This earliest Auvaiyar was a poetess of the Sangam age (First Century AD) and a contemporary of King Athigaman Netuman Anci.

    Her works were included in Purananuru, Kuruntokai, Natthinai and Akananuru. Thiruvalluvar who wrote Thirukkural had a sister called Auvaiyar. Some believes that the first Auvaiyar was his sister considering the period and having common names for parents based on the first Thirukkural. Many others disputes based on caste system. 2. 3 Second Auvaiyar The second Auvaiyar was a woman saint and close associate of two noble Siva devotees, Sundara Moorthy Nayanar and Cheraman Perumal, where both of them were inscribed as great Saiva saints in Sekkilar’s epic hagiography, the Periyapuranam. She lived around 800 AD.

    She wrote Vinayagar Agaval and Auvai Kural. She was associated with the Lambika Kundalini Yoga School. 2. 3 Third Auvaiyar The third one was a contemporary of Ottkakuthar, Kampar and Pugalenthi (1000 AD). It is believed that this third Auvaiyar is the subject of this book because of the references of Nayanmar (She referred to as “muvar tamulum” which means the works of the three saints) who lived much later period. Arthi is a flower which was also royal floral emblem of the Cholas. Thus many say that she should have lived in Cholas period which support the claim that the four works belong to this third Auvaiyar.

    The third Auvaiyar was also called Koolukupadi (one who sings for bowl of soup). The poet Kambar was commissioned by a dancing girl called Silambi to compose a verse on her and gave him 500 gold coins for it, but Kambar who normally, took 1000 gold coins scribbled half a verse on the walls with charcoal. Auvaiyar who happened to come soon afterwards accepted a cup of soup (pap) as reward and completed the stanza. There was an Auvaiyar who was associated with Lord Murugan and some says it was the third one. She could be another Auvaiyar. 2. 4 Attribution to Auvaiyar

    During a visit to a Siva temple, Auvaiyar sat down on the floor due to tiredness. Her legs were stretched and pointed towards God Siva which she did not notice. However, the temple priest asked Auvaiyar to cross her legs. Auvaiyar seek advice from the priest to provide a direction where Siva does not exist. Hindus consider that pointing legs to altar is an unacceptable behaviour. Hindus also believe that god is every where (omnipresent). Foolish priest did not realise that divinity is every where and not limited to altar in Temples. God is the spirit in the heart or the energy/forces that operate every thing in this universe.

    One of the Auvaiyar was an aggressive defender of women’s rights. On one occasion when some men reviled the character of women, Auvaiyar retorted that “all women would be good by nature if men did not spoil them; and most men would have a tolerable stock of sense if the women did not make fools of them. ” One of the Auvaiyar said that what we learned was a handful of soil where what is available to learn is equal to the size of the earth (Learned knowledge is finite whereas world is infinite). This means that no body can claim that they knew everything. Auvaiyar was a lateral thinker.

    At a coronation ceremony, Auvaiyar blessed the king which surprised all the audience. She said “Fortify the Embankment” where she used the Tamil word “Varapuyarga (???????? )”. It literally means raise the bund. When the audience asked her what it means to king. She retorted that when the embankment is strengthening, it contains more water that is essential for paddy cultivation which was the prime production at that time. When more paddies (stable food is rice which comes from paddy) is produced, the citizens will prosper and thus more revenue will be yielded to king.

    Consequently the strength and power of the king will increase. All others blessed the king directly wondered her lateral thinking. One of the Auvaiyar, while traveling through an orchard, she noticed a fruit tree where a young boy was perched on the tree. She asked him to pluck some fruits for her. The young boy sarcastically asked her whether she would like to have hot fruits or cold fruits. Auvaiyar was stuck as she did not think that there were two kinds of fruits. But, Auvaiyar did not want to admit her defeat to a young boy. She asked for cold fruit. When the boy shook off some branches, the fruits fell on sand.

    She picked up one ripe fruit and began to blow air over it to remove the sand. Then the boy told her that she asked for cold fruit and why did she pick a hot fruit (People blow air to make the food or drink to cool down before consuming in a rush and if the fruits were cool, then she did not blow air)? 3. TAMIL LANGUAGE Tamil is an ancient classical language and several claims that it was the first language of human civilization. It is used in Tamil Nadhu, South India and North Eastern Part of Sri Lanka. Later the language moved to several places with the movement of Tamil people.

    It has 12 vowels (5 vowels are like in the English language and another five are harder form of the first five. Other two vowels are combined sound). There are 18 consonants in the Tamil language. In Tamil, words cannot be started with consonant. All the combinations of vowel and consonants are pre-formed and listed as alphabets where the pronunciation of Tamil words is reading the alphabet directly (No complexity involved in pronouncing the Tamil words). The combinations are 216 (18 times 12) and another letter is added (like therefore symbol) to make 247 (i. . (18+1) times (12+1)) letters which forms a matrix structure as shown below (no Tamil alphabets are shown in the Matrix). Foreign borrowings are occasionally used as some of the sounds are not available among the Tamil alphabets. Out of the 247 letters, many of them cannot be used in front of a word and some of the letters are never used in words at all. Thus the Auvaiyar’s alphabetic learning poem has limitation and the alphabets used by her are listed in the Table below (The first number represents Arthi Chudhi and the second . represent Konrai venthan). 13b /13b |1/1 |2/2 |3/3 | |Blameless Behaviour |Athi Chudi |2 words |109 | |Virtuous Vision |Konrai Venthan |4 words |91 | |Wholesome Wisdom |Muthurai |4 lines |30 | |Peaceful Path |Nalvazhi |4 lines |40 | The Chapter 6 presents a transformation from the direct translation (and not a literal translation).

    I have doubt that any body can claim it the Translation. In this transformation, a title is given to each item in English. Chapter 6 also contains the original Tamil verses side by side. On the other hand, the following rules are adopted for interpretation (Chapter 5): • Arthi Chudhi in two words and Konrai Venthan in four words • There is no word limit for the other two but attempts were made to present them in simple form • Invocation, religious references, cultural references are removed. • Agriculture and other references to feudal society are odified • Wife is changed to spouse • Any references to and/or knowledge of Indian culture are customized to common culture • Some negative forms are presented in positive forms 4. 2 Arthi Chudhi It literally means Lord Siva (Chola kings too as they were in power) who wears garland made of (Thiru) Arthi Flower. There are 109 verses in the Athi Chudhi. Each one is made of two words. It is easy in Tamil Language to combine a few single words into a larger word and the two words of each Arthi Chudhi can be really expands into several words as presented by some publishers.

    It is to be noted that many books contain 108 verses and some even very much less than that. This was interpreted (take to mean) Blameless Behavior. It means when children learns these and follow these principles in their life, no body can blame them. Arthi flower is small white flower and the name of the tree is Holy Mountain ebony or common mountain ebony. Some says Arthi belong to Bauhinia botanical family and others claim it belongs to ficus glomerata. 4. 3 Konrai Venthan God Siva (Chola kings) is dressed up with the garland made of Konrai flower and he is called as king of this flower.

    Konrai Venthan is dedicated to God Siva. There are no verses for the 18 consonants letters and Konrai venthan is thus 18 numbers less than the Arthi Chudhi. Konrai Venthan is made of four words and provides a vision for life. Thus it is named as Virtuous Vision. Presentation and translation are similar to Arthi Chudhi. Konrai yields a shower of golden yellow flower and the tree is called Indian Laburnum. The tree also called Golden Shower tree and the botanical name is Cassia Fistula. 3 Muthurai There are thirty poems each made up of 4 lines.

    The title’s direct translation is Elders advice or Mature Messages. This mainly deals with social issues where it suggests how the outcome could be in each action. By reading these poems, one will get an insight of others reaction for each social consequences, means to avoid frustration and provide the foresight before taking hard decisions. 4. 5 Nalvahi There are forty poems each made up of 4 lines. The title’s direct translation is good (or Peaceful) path. Poems are mainly deal with karma or out of the actions where results are totally unexpected way.

    By reading the poems, one can realise a person’s limitations for achieving the desired results and avoiding detrimental effects to health by worrying, reducing regretfullness, realising that nothing foreever and bringing inner peace to overcome any distress and if necessary calling the names of the god for consolation. 5. 0 MORAL MANNERS 5. 1 Blameless Behaviour 1.
